I know a woman who lives in the same (thankfully large) house with her
husband, but probably doesn't speak with him twice in a week (he's a serious
alchoholic).  She's resigned to it, makes her life out of her kids and grand
kids, but my god - that's one of the marriages that makes me come home and
kiss John "for no reason".  He just looks up and says "Somebody's husband
being an asshole today?"

I swear when I took up horseshoeing I didn't sign on to be therapist to the
world...I think it's that Freudian psychoanalysis thing, where the patient
is on a couch where he can't see the therapist - I'm bent over trimming with
my back to people, and they tell me things...that often I really wish they
hadn't. ;>)
